Annual Fund

The Annual Fund benefits every child, every day at Hillbrook School. It provides unrestricted income for programs that are critical to a Hillbrook education, as tuition fees do not cover the full cost of educating your student. The Annual Fund is crucial to the health of the school, and enables us to provide a supportive, inclusive learning environment for all our students, where they are challenged academically and supported emotionally.

We are committed to supporting our families, and raising tuition to the actual cost of educating each student would make a Hillbrook education unreachable for some. By managing our costs through support of the Annual Fund, Hillbrook is able to keep our tuition viable for our families, and fulfill our ongoing commitment to attract a  diverse student body.

All Annual Fund donations are tax-deductible, and many donations qualify for employee matching funds. Click "Matching Gifts" below to see if your company participates.

The participation of our community is a testament to your strong commitment to the mission and vision of our extraordinary school. Each gift we receive inspires additional giving, creating a collective and major impact that will benefit every student throughout the year.

The cost to educate a child at Hillbrook this year is over $47,000, yet the highest tuition rate is $40,400. We encourage each family to donate at $5,000/student or above if they are able. However, ALL gifts - no matter the size - collectively make a tremendous impact, and are truly valued.

Please refer to the top of the page to learn more about our Giving Levels.

Do you own marketable securities (such as stocks, bonds, mutual fund shares) that:

1. have appreciated in value, and
2. you’ve owned for at least a year?

If you're ready to sell, you can gift them to Hillbrook and earn a tax-deductible donation equal to its full current market value. You will not pay any capital gains taxes on the appreciation over your original purchase or basis price. Consider this option and maximize your giving dollars!

Consult your tax/accounting advisor for specific advice applicable to your individual situation.
